Fuzzy Wuzzy
To shave or not to shave, that is the question and it seems that many male celebrities are answering it by tossing their razors out their Lamborghini windows. The beard has caught on in a big way and that’s not necessarily a good thing. …
This Week in Entertainment Dirt
Young actress Anna Paquin has come out and said she’s bisexual. Unless you watch vampire shows aimed at teens, and I do not, I mostly remember Anna from her role in The Piano, which won her an Oscar when she was somewhere around the age of a fetus. She also played a groupie in Almost Famous. …

What Passes for News
In the days of yore, not as long ago as yesteryear and even more recently than back in the day, entertainment news actually had a “news” quality to it. …

Anti Canadian Rant
I’m about to take an anti-Canadian stance on something. If you see anything Canadian as inherently good and have a small flag waving in your heart at all times, you might not like it. …

A Kanye West Moment
I don’t know what the critics are saying but I enjoyed the Steve Martin-Alec Baldwin pairing at the Academy Awards. And some of the wins were heart-warming, not the least of which was actual movie-making (The Hurt Locker) over high-tech trickery (Avatar). As much as we’ve all loved Sandra Bullock over the years, who would have pegged her for an Oscar one day?  It’s a nice change on the side of good! …

No Depp-rivations
Johnny Depp lives an idyllic life in southern France with his family and instead of envying him for it, I am happy for him. Unlike some movie stars who seem to be nothing more than gluttons with a cute smile, Depp appears to be a true artist. …

I Started a Joke…
Joke writing is hard. I’ve often said that if I had it to do over again I might pursue stand-up comedy as a vocation. But it’s really difficult to come up with original material. …

Do the authorities force famous people who have been arrested to wash off their make-up and mess up their hair and look as if they’ve been sleeping in a ditch just before they take a mug shot?

Thoughtful Entertainment
My taste in music is eclectic. I may go loopy over one song by an artist and not like anything else they do. My in-car collection mixes country with rock with classic rock and pure pop. Nickelback lives alongside Def Leppard and Boston and Tim McGraw. …
